Yoghurt and cucumber dip (Tzatziki)
Ingredients
500g Greek style yoghurt or plain yoghurt
1 Lebanese cucumber, peeled and grated coarsely
1/2 tsp salt
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 1/2 Tbsp shredded fresh mint leaves (with a couple to garnish on top)
Salt & pepper cracked on the top
Directions
Combine the cucumber and salt in a bowl, then tip onto paper towels and pat with a few extra to remove the excess liquid. Add back into the bowl, along with all the other ingredients. Mix together. Tip into a small serving bowl, crack salt and pepper on the top and garnish with mint.
This is a fresh dip delicious with a Greek salad and lamb or chicken. Or you could fill pita pockets with meat, salad and this dip on the top for a quick and easy dinner.
